100 Years of Solitude

The Levellers were a political movement active during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms who were committed to popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law and religious tolerance. The hallmark of Leveller thought was its populism, as shown by its emphasis on equal natural rights, and their practice of reaching the public through pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd.The Levellers came to prominence at the end of the First English Civil War (1642–1646) and were most influential before the start of the Second Civil War (1648–49).

All around you slow decay
Want to feel the sun of a new day
Forget all the chances lost
Shedding innocence like falling dust
All the things you learned too young 
The songs you knew but never sung 
Waited a long time and wasted more
Forgotten what you waited for

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
Feels like 100 years of solitude
My mind is numb but my mouth's okay 
And you can listen or walk away

No solutions built to last
Just petty scores to settle fast 
The N.M.E. was nothing to you
And the maker, well the maker of who 
This walkman generation 
In search of sweet sedation 
While forests choke under a lever sky 
And the Exxon birds that will never fly

We tried, we cried, we fell, we lied
This life's like a white knuckled ride 
Crack babies born too young 
And L.A. kids who dance to the gun 
So forget this so called dirt of mine 
It's just the dust and diesel of passing time
It's all around you - a tragedy, look 
So forget the cover and read the book
